Customer Reviews for VEVOR Raised Garden Bed, 48.2 x 24.6 x 11 inch Galvanized Metal Planter Box, Outdoor Planting Boxes with Open Base, for Growing Flowers/Vegetables/Herbs in Backyard/Garden/Patio/Balcony, Silver

A lot to put together but worth the time, looks great We put this on 2"x8x16 cap blocks, to make it easy to mow and no weed whacking.

Love my 4 17” high 4’x8’ raised beds I recently purchased. I just completed construction and am finalizing filling them. I have started all of my plants from seeds this spring and am anxiously awaiting the weather to cooperate in allowing me to plant here in zone 7. Thank you Vevor for allowing me to invest in these. My neighbors are all quite envious! Sorry my photo is too large to post but it is looking great!

Ce plate-bande de jardin en métal est fait de sections métalliques recouvertes d'un film plastique et boulonnées ensemble avec 128 boulons et noix papillons au total. L'assemblage est assez simple mais fastidieux. Au centre est inclus un support métallique constitué de 3 branches de chaque coté pour solidifier les parois. C'est bien, mais pas assez car avec le poids de la terre, les parois ont tendance a gonfler dans le bas des panneaux qui n'ont pas cette retenue en métal. A part ce défaut, il semble de bonne qualité, le temps le dira. J'ai empilé environ 8 a 9 pouces le fond avec des débris de jardin tel que des feuilles, de petites branches, épines de pin, etc... pour ne pas avoir a emplir avec 24 pouces de terre, ce qui serait un peu trop lourd et pas nécessaire. De plus ces débris vont composter avec le temps et vont apporter des nutriments aux plantes. J'ai mis environ 2 pouces de roche 0-3/4 dans le fond recouvert d'une toile géotextile; puis j'ai installé un cadre en bois traité fabriqué avec des 2 x 4 et installé la plate-bande dessus. Je suis satisfait du produit pour l'instant.

Give yourself at least an hour per box for assembly, and an extra pair of hands makes it go faster. When assembling, the slightly shorter pieces are for the ends, longer pieces are the sides. Every piece of the metal sides and ends has a plastic film on it that you'll want to remove. It's very hard to spot. I didn't notice it until I had the first one completely assembled, but by then it's too late to remove cleanly... remove before assembly (it's very satisfying!). I'm sure the sun will destroy the protective film in short order and make it look ugly. Also, these 24" deep boxes will be fine for dwarf fruit trees, berry vines, asparagus, potatoes and sweet potatoes, but they're way too deep for anything else, just a waste of valuable soil, IMO. The only benefit I see is that because they're taller, they're easier to access if you have trouble bending low to work your garden. Other than those things, these are nice looking beds and I plan to fill my garden space with them (the 12" high ones mostly).

Works well, but really needs some kind of trimming on the edges. Very sharp and not safe for children

I was impressed with the quality of the metal in these raised beds. They were easy to put together and sturdy once put together.

They look great, but you need to prop up the centre spreading bars. I used bricks, 2x4s and anything that would keep the walls from sucking in. Rigid 4 foot bars would be better.

Arrived very quickly and in good shape. No bent panels or missing hardware. All holes aligned properly. No scrapes or scratches on the paint. The included wingnuts made assembly especially easy. Fewer panels to assemble than other raised beds I have purchased in the past. I expect to get many years use out of this raised bed.

You get what you pay. Material is too thin, it bends only with the compost weight. But for the price, is good enough

I've bought 3 of these raised beds and like them very much. Easy to assemble, but the changed from hex nuts to wing nuts this year, which don't fit under the cross bars, so I had to bjy some hex nuts to fit.
